Can you mix syntax highlighting in a single file? Maybe. Here's a thought: How about something that recognizes filetypes in PerlLanguage (or others) HereDocuments and applies the right syntax? Like
|
|
|
|
print <<HTML;
|
|
<p>Here is some HTML.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>And stuff.</p>
|
|
HTML

...turns out this works for PHP heredocs by default, I assume it'd be do-able for Perl.

* Use tags. ctrl-] to follow a tag, ctrl-t moves backwards through the stack.
|
|
* gU''motion'' - uppercase. gUw, for example.
|
|
* :colorscheme <name> - use tab completion to cycle various schemes.
|
|
* :%sort
|
|
* grepping:
|
|
** :grep -ri pattern ./*
|
|
** :copen
|
|
* ctrl-v enters a visual mode that allows for selection of a rectangular block.
|
|
* q: gives a command line history.
|
|
* :%!''command'' feeds all text to an external command and returns the output.
|
|
** frex, :%!sort will sort all lines.
|
|
* :set showcmd displays commands on the status line as you enter them.
|
|
* :set showmatch & :set matchtime=1 will briefly bounce to the matching bracket whenever a new bracket is typed in.
|
|
* vim has a file browser plugin now, which does sort of what you would expect - it lists the files in a directory, and when the cursor is over one, you hit enter to open it. What's cool is that if you hit ?, you get a set of extra commands - o will open a file in a new window, O in a window that's already open. i turns on size/date info, s toggles sorting, etc. Try doing :help file-explorer.

<[Brennen]> Tonight I was doing something stupid-repetitive to a text file - enclosing certain blocks but not others in HTML paragraph tags. It came to me that I ought to try vim's recording feature, rather than screwing around with writing a search and replace that would actually work. Turns out it's really simple to use. Just hit 'q', followed by the name of a register (0-9a-zA-Z), and then go about your business. Once you've finished with the string of commands you wanted to record, just hit q again. Then to execute them, do '@' followed by the name of the register you used.

Think of this as writing a miniature program on the fly. Since vi-style commands are built around a simple verb-object-number syntax, it's surprisingly elegant.
